An extension of D19978, this patch replaces the default BITREVERSE evaluation of individual bit masks+shifts with block mask+shifts when we have integer elements of power-of-2 bits in size.
After calling BSWAP to reverse the order of the constituent bytes (which typically follows a similar approach), every neighbouring 4-bits, 2-bits and finally 1-bit pairs are masked off and swapped over with shifts.
In doing so we can significantly reduce the number of operations required.

An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

It would be better to check the valid/expected size of the immediate operand, but this is
generally better than what we print right now.

Several backends have instructions to reverse the order of bits in an integer. Conceptually matching such patterns is similar to @llvm.bswap, and it was mentioned in http://reviews.llvm.org/D14234 that it would be best if these patterns were matched in InstCombine instead of reimplemented in every different target.
This patch introduces an intrinsic @llvm.bitreverse.i* that operates similarly to @llvm.bswap. For plumbing purposes there is also a new ISD node ISD::BITREVERSE, with simple expansion and promotion support.
The intention is that InstCombine's BSWAP detection logic will be extended to support BITREVERSE too, and @llvm.bitreverse intrinsics emitted (if the backend supports lowering it efficiently).
